Solution

The correct option is D Right to vote for all adult citizens.
After independence, the Indian Constitutions' makers turned all adults into voters. This was through the provision of Universal Adult Suffrage or Universal Adult Franchise. It was a significant departure from earlier elections which were based on a very limited franchise.
